P
R
36

S
2=

Answer 1

54°

Explanation:

∠PQR +∠RQS =∠PQS

36° + x° = 90°

x = 90 - 36 = 54°

Answer 2

x=54 degrees

Explanation:

These two angles are complementary, meaning that they add to 90 degrees.

If one angle is 36 degrees, then we can write this equation: 36+x=90

We want to find what x is, so we should isolate x.

We can isolate x by subtracting 36 on both sides.

x=90-36

x=54
